Smith, S., Ané, C., & Baum, D. (2008). THE ROLE OF POLLINATOR SHIFTS IN THE FLORAL DIVERSIFICATION OF IOCHROMA (SOLANACEAE). Evolution, 62(4), 793-806.
Laura Lagomarsino will be leading our discussion this week on floral evolution in a group of Andean plants.
Laura says:
"I've decided to switch it up this week, and swing from NGS data and phylogeny reconstruction and dive into phylogenetic comparative methods. The paper I've chosen, Smith et al. 2008, is an empirical paper that looks at the effect of pollination syndrome on floral evolution in a really diverse clade of Andean plants. If you're keeping track, that's basically what I'm up to these days! This paper played a large role in my designing my thesis, and now that I'm applying these methods on my own data, I thought it would be a good opportunity talk through them with you and talk about how these methods have been built upon in the last 7 years."
We will meet at our usual noon in the Herbaria "Fishbowl" where snacks will be provided (thanks GSC!)
